You know the strange thing is I’ve tried the stinger hooks on those types of patterns thinking it would be perfect…….

[Carter Simcoe]

looks similar to a lot of stuff I do.

[Carter Simcoe]

Also, Redington still make the Brakewater.

[Carter Simcoe]

So you’ve got a Carolina Skiff fetish too??

[Carter Simcoe]

Nice.

[Carter Simcoe]

Hmm.

[Carter Simcoe]

ha ha.

[Carter Simcoe]

Well there should be a thick vail of sarcasm cast over most everything I say.

I dunno, maybe i’m off but I thought they were always talking about this AL reel like it had the best drag since RuPaul, then giving you some fine print about scrubing it down with a toothbrush after every use…….

[Carter Simcoe]

Nice to see someone else who can admit that reel is a rusty piece of crap Mike.

[Carter Simcoe]

This is one of those things that is best to learn by actually watching it done correctly.

[Carter Simcoe]

ha ha, the ironic thing is that might be able to pass for me from far off.

[Carter Simcoe]

I like what you are doing with some of your flies there too Mike.

[Carter Simcoe]

Damn those are some big stripers.

[Carter Simcoe]

oh yeah, I can handle that, I just wasn’t sure if I should hotlink from cnn or not.

[Carter Simcoe]

Yeah, good point, greg.

[Carter Simcoe]

that Ross Canyon BG drag is great, I’ve come across people that adamatly hate it though, mostly die-dard cork guys.

[Carter Simcoe]

Oh, its far from the world’s best drag, I’d never buy one for anything larger than a 6 wt rig.

[Carter Simcoe]

Its pretty easy to adjust the drag range on a cimarron.

As for the Orvis vs Ross thing, those are both good reels, I think the Orvis is cheaper and probablly a better ‘deal’, they are pretty comparable reels.

[Carter Simcoe]

I might have some more of those kicking around somewhere, haven’t dug into those boxes in a while.

i’m not seeing that C70S D on there though.

As for large hackle, I dunno, I haven’t bought any in a while so I’m not aware of any deals out there at the moment.

[Carter Simcoe]

For pretty close to the same price as the 34007’s the Mustad C70S D is a much sharper hook.
